The heater doesn't work at all now. :( Have to call in a repair man, but haven't felt like it as I came down with a seriously bad cold two weeks ago and had to go to the doctor and have been pretty much sick and fatigued ever since.
Of course, over a holiday weekend, I took my antibiotic prescribed and it did nothing. Unfortunately for me, my doctor is extremely conscientious, AND - unlike a thousand other doctors who are too well aware that infections being resistant these days usually do not hesitate to prescribe a different round of antibiotics should the first not work - asked me to come back into the office for another checkup. The office is 30 miles away from my current home and between the cold and snow days and then being out sick, I didn't want to take off YET ANOTHER DAY just because this stupid doctor wanted me to come back in so I could show her the same goddamned symptoms I had two weeks ago!!!! >:( >:( >:( So I am attempting to get better on my own. It's a very slow process. And work got stressful and I decided to go get a massage two days ago. BIG mistake. The massage was wonderful, but it triggered a bad nerve spasm. So on top of the non-working heater, slowly recovering sinus infection and I now have massively painful all over body aches.
I normally take ibuprofen when my myalgia flares up, but I've already been taking it for nearly a month due to my cold and the stress and my stomach is finally rebelling against my taking anymore, so I don't have any painkiller that will work on the aches otherwise.
So, with my sister pestering me about the fence and getting a new stove and fixing the heater, I finally just told her I wasn't feeling well, and there was nothing stopping her from going out and doing all the research herself if she was in such a hurry.
She shut up.
So, thank you for the interest Kelda, but the house is pretty much no better for me than it was before, and in fact worse since the heater is now not working at all and I haven't had a chance to do anything to rectify the situation because of my sudden bad health.

No. My mother didn't worry about the house in her later years. She was too busy worrying about her health, so the house fell into a state of shabby neglect. It needs a lot of work.
My sister thinks we can rent it, but I don't, unless we cater to a rental client that isn't very picky - which I don't care to do. My sister has some suggestions that we just add on additional rooms and live together there, so we can put our money into refurbishing the house for ourselves, rather than some possible renter, or failing that, tear the house down and together finance a new house together. Either plan is workable, except for the fact I really don't want to live with my sister or in this particular area.
You do what you have to do, I guess.
Thanks, Kelda for asking.

My bitch of the day.
It's entirely my fault for not reading the small print but the situation falls under the idea that in our commercial economy today, no one is interested in you having something that's useful...just in case.
You have a credit card with no balance that you can have just in case? The banks weren't making any money off you, so they started charging a fee for you simply having it.
Now, my sister had given me an old pay-as-you-go phone. I still have the thing. It's old, but it still has 15 minutes of airtime on it and I've had the thing over a year.
Now since my mom died, my sister emphasized to me that all we had anymore was each other so I needed to be reachable 24/7. So as an Xmas gift for myself, I bought a fancy nice new pay-as-you-go phone.
Only I didn't read the small print. It's really a 'pay as you go until they get tired of not making any money off you' phone. My other phone, the unused minutes rolled over every month. This phone, they don't unless you buy more minutes every 60 days. But I don't need more minutes. I have 1/2 hour left and that could easily last me another 2-3 months. So unless I buy more minutes, I will lose them all in 2 days and be stuck with a pretty $90 plastic box that lights up in the dark and does nothing else.

I really wish these medical shows wouldn't show you a heartbreaking story of a poor child afflicted with some horrible disease, get you involved and invested emotionally in how the doctors work to bring this child back to a relatively normal life, see the joy and tears of everyone involved...only to drop the boom on you at the credits and tell you the poor child died a year later...
